Margaret Kimberley · LGBTQ Newsletter Surveys Prison Conditions

The newsletter for the prison abolition organization Black and Pink sent out a 133-page questionnaire to incarcerated LGBTQ persons, earlier this year, so that “we can laser beam solutions to the needs of these individuals,” said organizer Fatima Shabazz, a trans woman. Among the findings of the questionnaire: 85 percent of respondents have spent time in solitary confinement, half of them for two years or more. Black and Pink claims 20,000 members in 13 chapters around the country.
